Book a table at Mash (Modern American Steak House)

Mash (Modern American Steak House) is featured in these Guides:

1) The name has nothing to do with potato. It actually stands for ‘Modern American Steak House’. The perfect moniker for an international chain from, er, Denmark.

2) Descending the grandiose staircase from the restaurant’s modest street-level entrance to its sprawling basement took us past a large interior photo of the Copenhagen opera house, in which every seat was occupied by the same photoshopped man. Good for him.

3) Set within the cavernous old ballroom of a now-extinct Soho hotel, Mash’s bar and dining booths are glamourously bedecked in the same Art Deco finery as their grade II listed surrounds. One can imagine Howard Hughes and Katherine Hepburn dining in similarly-festooned hangouts, during his more sociable years.

4) Mash has 50 types of bourbon behind the bar. Bet you can’t name more than two.

5) The cocktail menu is long, hugely adventurous, and features many home-made ingredients. Drinkers are therefore better-off just describing their ideal tipple to the barman rather than finding it from the list: the resultant concoction invariably hits the mark.

6) The various cuts of meat available are displayed in sealed glass cases between the bar and restaurant, like a more finely-diced Damien Hirst exhibit. The waiters are happy to talk through the contents of these gastronomic greenhouses on request.

7) With four years chef training, a three-year waiter degree, and a year-long sommelier diploma, our waiter, Christian, is better-trained than my GP.

8) In fact, the depth of knowledge displayed by Christian was such that I wondered whether he might actually have known every cow on the menu personally. Worth thinking about next time your waiter in Wagamama scribbles your order all over your place mat, but still gets it wrong.

9) Danish steak is actually very good. I’d probably still recommend the American varieties available (or the Australian wagyu if you’ve recently sold your house and don’t know what to do with the money), but the cuts of great Danish suggests there’s more to their farmers than bringing home the bacon.

10) Eating at Mash isn’t cheap, and certainly isn’t the most outrageous fun you can have in a Soho basement (I’ve been told). However, for special occasions, or if it’s going on the company account, it serves very good food in a spectacular old building that is clearly not finished creating memories....read more

Loved

"I found Majingos again... I used to go here when it was based at South Quay in Canary Wharf and has now relocated to Limehouse E14 in case anyone doesn't know. It was good in the old days and I am pleased..."

Hated

"Very bad experience. Booked a table, before paying making sure that the table will not be moved at some point to make space. Looks like the woman taking bookings called Candice will promise you anything..."
